This was the best experience we have ever had at Egin Lakes! We have been going to this area for 35 years. This was the first year that we were able to reserve a spot ahead of time. For many years, it has felt that something might just be a little off when it came to arriving and trying to get a spot in the facility. The new camp area host (Dillon) was very friendly and able to answer questions and help with anything that we needed. He also seemed to be hands off when we didn't need him which was nice. The restrooms were kept clean and stocked. I saw people attending to them every day. The whole experience was just incredible. The entire facility was amazing and I can't wait to return.

Didn’t have camp-host No dumpsters and the garbage overflowing all the time. The dump station was closed down without a close access.
Dillon was pleasant and helpful.

Very nice, clean, well organized area for OHV use. Sites are mostly level with covered patio areas which is good since there are no trees and no shade in the camping area. Access to the dunes is easy and having the lake nearby is great. We enjoyed our overnight stay here. If you are an early to bed person bring your earplugs. The night riders head out at 10pm and return about 3am when they relive their adventures and enjoy social time.

We got to our reserved camp spot about 3pm and the people in the next spot had parked their trailer and truck halfway into our spot. They had way more vehicles and people than aloud for a spot so they stretched into ours. They were out riding for hours, which left us unable to park or unload until they got back. It was scorching hot so that didn’t make anything easier. The trees are all to the south so no shade at these spots. I called BLM and they transferred me to a voicemail. Never heard back. All phone numbers available were not responsive. I tried the guy at the pit store and he was atleast sympathetic but couldn’t do anything. So just know if this happens, you are on your own. Camp host said, if they won’t move, call the sheriff. Not a fun way to start trip. BLM no help. The dunes and lakes are close and beautiful. The lake we swam in had no leaches, some smaller ponds do. You can see them pretty easily.
